[QUOTE="Susquatch, post: 1582368, member: 31264"] Intuitively, the O style should be less prone to flex with load. However, I'm not so sure that a thorough engineering analysis would support that intuition. It is not unreasonable to think that other Designs with strong backs and/or other ways to stiffen the press might actually flex less than the O type. I had an RCBS Rockchucker "O" press for many years and it worked great, but I traded it for a Redding UltraMag to handle larger cartridges, get convenient open access with my big hands, and to take advantage of the improved spent primer handling. If there is a difference in the quality and precision of my reloads as a result of any additional stress, I don't notice it. If I still had the RCBS, I'd do some testing myself. I don't, so I'd love to see a rigorous analysis/review of the O vs other presses. [/QUOTE]
